Old Habits Die Hard

As someone with hypothyroidism, I know that the sooner in the day that I…

I can watch my food, exercise and drink water until the cows come home but unless I am mentally happy my body is not going to cooperate. Yes, I can lose a pound but it is a sllllooowwwww go. BUT if I am…

Binge Eating Help
Binge eating is an overlooked eating disorder. Unlike bulimics, binge eaters overeat without purging after. I am a self-confessed binge eater. There are days when I would eat almost nothing and there are days when I would overeat. I really want to stop doing this. I feel really bad after and I hate it. I hate myself so…

Need a sympathetic pat-on-back
Official weigh in tonight after 2 weeks. Going to be a bit of a let down I think. That scale weighs higher than mine, and mine has been under the 200 mark for the last few days (yippee for me). While I am expecting a loss, I am assuming that the TOPS one will weigh me a bit over 200, and it will be sad to see that 2 at the…

I need some help/advice...
As a disclaimer, I'd like to say that I know weight loss is going to be hard for me because I have hypothyroidism. I do take meds for it (that are working; I'd feel crappy if they didn't), but this is ridiculous. I'm 5'4" and as of today, 140 lbs (my all-time high). I know it's not THAT heavy, but I look at it this way: if…

Excuses
I moved this weekend, and used it as an excuse to "not stay on a healthy eating plan". I feel really guilty about it and got everything ready so I couldn't use moving as an excuse. Does anyone have tips to getting back on track and staying there?
